Elegant MCM Tallboy in Cast Iron Black with Natural Wood Accents

Once bearing a pale, dated finish, it now stuns in a rich cast iron black, beautifully contrasted by solid wood drawers finished in a warm, natural stain. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated—from the elegantly updated black hardware to the refined moldings and drawer groove accents. Smooth-gliding feet have been added for effortless movement across both hardwood and carpet. Measuring 34" W x 17.5" D x 40.5" H, this sophisticated piece offers both function and timeless style—an instant statement in any well-appointed room.

Quick Mirror Update


Let me share how I gave this old mirror a new look.


Someone had tried to update it in the past but think tape or wear gave it a beat up look.

After cleaning it well I applied 2 coats of Fusion Mineral Paint in Champlain, a pretty warm white.


My next plan was to use Fusion's gilding paste in gold (discontinued) and apply it to my new Indian Inlay stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils however once I tried the paste was too thin to work as a stencil medium. Instead I wiped it on via fingertip on the frame.


Then I added Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax to the frame to give an aged look to compliment the soft aged gold. The farmhouse style jewelry box was painted similarly.


It is such a pretty update to create a classic beauty just like this sweet pumpkin updated in the same color.
